*These batteries are charged from 2 -100 kW Solar panels over a dinghy davit and/or engine alternators while running either or both engines.
These batteries in turn charge the house batteries via voltage equalization.System note: Start batteries charge via solar and/or engine alternator(s). Engine alternators are wired directly to the start battery to protect the alternator from over-demand from LiFePo house batteries. In other words, start batteries buffer (protect) engine alternators which charge the start batteries which then backfeed charge house battery via voltage equalization through existing 1/0 start wiring.
